Hey guys,
It's the end of the month again, and it's time for a new update. This one is a particular chonker, coming barely shy of 30K new words.
As the title suggests, this patch is a bit of a love letter to Elise, focusing majorly on continuing her story line. You will find hefty new content in Chapter 3, as well as overall updates with a redesign of her true form, new art, new animations, and new backgrounds. (And there's still more Elise stuff in the pipeline coming later!)
Along with the Elise content, you will find a new way of completing the True Wish: Demon, various art updates, some new music, and general polish here and there.
A few more words on the Elise branch in Chapter 3:
-it is currently VERY EASY to start this branch. After doing the usual dungeon crawl, just talk to Mihai and then to Elise. The necessary restrictions for this event have been artificially lowered because there are still some loose ends with how it connects to the main story;
-I must warn you that this branch ends with a dead end and you won't be able to fully complete Chapter 3 with it. Of course, the rest will follow soon;
All in all, you will notice that with a backbone of The Elder and Lavius in Chapter 3, now we're in the process of fleshing it out with Felicia and Elise. In the next patches all of these lines will begin to connect, offering various new endings to the story.
Hope you enjoy!
